A Tale of Two Cities

Two cities - two benefit nights

As the excitement builds in the run up to Bristol’s first anarchist bookfair in 15 years, bookfair organisers have 2 more benefit nights arranged in Bath & Bristol over the next seven days. These benefit nights allow us to raise the funds to pay for the bookfair, whilst having a good night out, ensuring there is no need for a formal entry fee at the bookfair itself. Anarchists eh, what a bunch of self-funding, self-organised idealists!

Here’s the gigs:

BATH: Bristol Anarchist Bookfair Fundraiser Vol. 3

It's the Bastard Squad Collective coming at ya...a night of dub, ska and punk:
